Intelligent Transport System

Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of computer, electronics, and communication technologies and management strategies in an integrated manner to provide traveler information to increase the safety and efficiency of the road transportation systems. This paper mainly describes ITS user services, ITS architecture and ITS planning. The various user services offered by ITS have been divided in eight groups have been briefly described. The ITS architecture which provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating intelligent transportation systems is briefly described emphasizing logical and physical architecture. Integration of ITS in transportation planning process which follows a systems engineering approach to develop a transportation plan is also briefly described in this paper.

Conclusion

Implementing the use of Intelligent Transport System will definitely be going to affect our ride in a good way. Information Services remain fundamental to passenger satisfaction, which will encourage use of public transport and reduce the use of personal vehicles. This significantly contributes to saving the environment from heavy vehicle pollution and reducing congestion on city wads. At the end we conclude that I.T.S. holds a good point in providing us a good, safe journey
